Deputy Angelo Bonelli, from the party Green and Left Alliance, declared this Tuesday (20), during a session in the Chamber of Deputies of Italy, that Carlos and Eduardo, the sons of former president Jair Bolsonaro, already have passport Italian.
The speech took place during the debate of a proposed law that aims to restrict the recognition of Italian citizenship, changing central points of current legislation.
“The children of Jair Bolsonaro, former president of the Federative Republic of Brazil, already have the passport Italian,” Bonelli said during his speech.
The parliamentarian also directly cited the case of Bolsonaro's children, highlighting that the former president is being investigated in Brazil for alleged participation in actions to subvert democracy after the election of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in 2022.
According to reports published in the Brazilian press, Carlos Bolsonaro and Eduardo Bolsonaro have reportedly initiated the process of recognizing the Italian citizenship in 2022, through the Italian Embassy in Brasilia.
In 2023, Italy's Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, Antonio Tajani, stated that Jair Bolsonaro had no ongoing trial in the country.
“Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro never asked for Italian citizenship, and there are also laws. There are people who have the right to request it, but he did not request it,” Tajani said at the time.
